help find the sphinx

[Fabio92]

at the beginning of the game how many missions do you need to do to be able to go around the map wherever you want and go exploring. I want to find the sphinx.

someone told me this: if I don't do Ser Gregory's mission to Vernsworth, there's a giant gate portcullis blocking off the rest of the map. So is it mandatory to do it or not?

you can go basically everywhere right at the start as long as you know where to go.
You can go around the border chackpoint to get into battahl. you can go through a ruin to get to volcano isle.

The northern Vermund checkpoint is the ONLY hard road block.
Do quests until that's open and then you are good.

so this thing here is not true, read: if I don't do Ser Gregory's mission to Vernsworth, there's a giant gate portcullis blocking off the rest of the map. I also wrote it in my discussion here

to reach the sphinx there is no blocked road from when you start the game, practically from the beginning onwards

If i had to make a guess, probably once you reach Vernworth. but idk.

you can go anywhere as soon as you are escorting an oxcart with the soldiers. just dont escort it and run to the checkpoint town- go around by the backroad or go through via the noble oxcart

[Vinnolo]

you can go anywhere at the start of the game, to get into bahttal either smuggle yourself inside the oxcart or go thru a series of tunnels, and rushing to the sphinx will be an absolute pain, simply because you prob wont have ferrystones to get around

i got through it early by riding in the oxcart
just climb on and stand there it will roll through the gate, dont talk to the driver either or it will stop until you get out

that mission of Mr. Gregory that then you arrive in Vermund and they open the shutter for you, is it easy to do? more or less at what point in the game do you have to do it?

you dont need to go to vermond, just get past the gate.

If you feel like it, you could mark me on the map with a fairly easy route to reach the sphinx, starting from Melve

the problem is when you are at the beginning of the game, you have the whole map blacked out and you can't understand where you are

what do you need the sphynx so badly for? the rewards suck anyway. its a fun trophy but thats it.

yes but how do you do it? If I can't get into the city it's difficult to go to the sphinx. and then I will have almost the entire map blacked out and it's not clear where I am

I want to reach her because I really like her as a creature. but since the map is almost black, i.e. undiscovered, it will be difficult to understand if I'm taking the right route or not. I need an image with the route to follow marked, starting from Melve

just search on youtube for routes, or just go to r34 if you want to whack that badly

I mean, some rewards are pretty good, like the casting speed ring, or the unmaking arrow.

I prefer to see an image than watch the video on YT.

casting speed ring can be gotten elsewhere. so can unmaking arrow.
